We’ve been going to this place for years since 2018 in the mission - and this location is the best one yet.

I really like this place. Floor to ceiling windows let in lots of light. Cozy, attractive interior. There are both tables and counter seating. Tall ceilings make it feel airy. My bowl was delicious. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely coming back! I found street parking easily on a Friday at lunchtime and there are bike racks in front.

My friends and I stopped by Kativa in Oakland, and I’m so glad we did. I went with the build-your-own bowl, crispy chicken, cauliflower rice, sweet potatoes, and brussels sprouts and it was absolutely delicious.
